Our Team
Marty McDevitt
PRINCIPAL & DESIGNER
After years working in high-end fashion in New York City, transitioning into home fashion and interior design felt like a natural evolution. Martyās very first residential project was featured on the Westfield Symphony House Tour, with more recent work showcased on the Cranford Holiday House Tour.
Marty is drawn to every phase of the design process, from envisioning what a space could become, to thoughtfully layering materials and finishes, to styling a room with the perfect final touches that bring it all together.
Joanne D. Turner
PRINCIPAL & DESIGNER
After graduating from the New York School of Interior Design, Joanne began her career at a commercial interior design firm in New York City. While she gained valuable experience in the commercial sector, her long-term vision was always to build a design business in her hometown of Westfield, New Jersey. Today, Joanne focuses primarily on residential design and renovations, though she still welcomes opportunities that allow her to draw on her commercial roots.
Renovations are at the core of Joanneās work. She is inspired by transforming spaces from a blank canvas into thoughtfully executed interiors that are as functional for everyday living as they are visually compelling.
Virginia Quinn
DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS
As part of the Elements team I get to combine my love for beautiful interior design with my experience in management. Keeping our organization running smoothly allows for the creative expertise of our team to shine. When not working at Elements I love ski trips with my family, spending time on Nantucket and singing along to country music.
Alexis Azzaretto
SENIOR DESIGN ASSOCIATE
Being a senior design associate at Elements allows my sense of style to flourish. I love finding beautiful and unique objects to incorporate into our projects. The best part of my job is when I discover something new and unexpected that perfectly elevates a design. When Iām not working for Elements, I can be found at a HITT class, reading a psychological thriller, or at the beach with my family.
Tara Glassmith
DESIGN ASSOCIATE
From preparing presentation materials to communicating with vendors about product orders, I support the team throughout the design process. When Iām not watching my kids on the sports field, you can find me watching the latest crime drama or relaxing on the beach in Stone Harbor.
Gina Tortorella
STUDIO ASSISTANT
From tracking orders to managing our inventory, I keep the studio organized. You can also find me on site with Joanne and Marty during styling and installation days. When Iām not at Elements, Iām usually busy watching my boys at the hockey rink or on the baseball and lacrosse fields. In my free time, I enjoy working out and cooking Italian food for friends and family.
Ricardo Angeles
PROFESSIONAL INSTALLER
I am an artist by trade and pride myself on attention to detail. As part of the Elements team I an involved with all of our project installations. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my twin sons - either hiking trails or taste-testing in our quest to find the perfect pizza slice.
